Poison-202 is a professional Vintage Midi Synthesizer. Made by musicians for musicians, it is inspired by famous classic hardware synthesizers of 80's and 90's and has all the main sound creation blocks you can imagine: oscillators, cutoff Filters, ADSR-envelopes, ring, cross modulation, LFOs, sync, super-saw oscillator and more! Unlike many other software synthesizers at the market, which can reproduce only limited family of sounds, Poison-202 is designed to be able to reproduce almost any classic synthesizer timbre!

Got this recently and am very impressed. Took a chance on it as I really have enough synths by now. The developer has other apps that I use fairly often. He makes relatively lightweight apps that never crash, take up little space, and sound phenomenal.The sounds this synth can produce are impressive, especially the heavy bass presets, although the lead sounds are equally as good. I’m loving this app!
Extremely useful piece of software

I literally cannot imagine making music without this. If you are on iOS and make trance, synthwave, hardstyle, house, ambient, really anything even remotely electronic, not using this in some capacity would be like trying to drive without any gas in your car. There is none better for the price.Additionally, this is the most stable, and among the lightest plugins i've ever used. You can stack however many you want in a song and it will keep working perfectly without so much as a crackle. This is incredibly impressive for how sonically capable it is. There are a lot of synths i've used with only a fraction of the power and they don't even come close to how well this performs.
So Far

So, I have a lot of synths. I am an iPad synth addict. It becomes harder to justify my purchase every time, when I've already got the "classics" and so many others are just average, possessing no real innovation or unique qualities. It was with this in mind that I reluctantly purchased POISON. I was sure I was just compulsively buying another average synth and mindlessly shaving another 10 dollars off my bank balance to feed my addiction. I am happy to report that this synth is actually worth the money. The layout it absolutely ingenious in its simplicity - and while it's not some avant-garde musical instrument, it is a solid synth that packs a whole lot into a UI that just works. It's easy to navigate, it sounds awesome, AND it can be used as an AU synth (a feature not nearly enough synths can boast). Enjoy!
Fantastic!

I held off on getting this synth because I heard that it was just aimed at the EDM crowd. I'm sure it's very useful for EDM but I'm a blues based rock guitarist. I bought it just to try something different. I'm sorry I waited.This is an amazing synthesizer that is useful across the board. Blues, rock, jazz, all kinds of electronica... it'll work great. I can't imagine where the synth could not fit in. Got a 120 piece orchestra and you need a little synthesizer mixed in? This will do it!The best part about it is that it's pretty straightforward. It's like having a synthesizer with all the knobs presented before you with no digital menus to dive into. Start tweaking sounds and have fun. That's it. I didn't even have to download a manual.If you never used the synthesizer in your life then this is a good starting point. Just start turning the knobs to see what they do and you'll learn pretty much everything you need to know about how synthesizers work because it's all here. Once you've learned it there are more complex "advanced classes" elsewhere on the App Store.
